We have school today! Did you change your clock?

Last Saturday night(Sunday Morning at 2 AM) the time in the USA changed.  We moved our clocks back one hour to move from "daylight savings" time to "standard time."  We say "Fall back!  Spring Forward!" to remember to go back an hour in autumn, and forward and hour in spring.  Many people replace the batteries in their smoke detectors at the same time as fixing all their clocks.

(My husband likes to joke that since daylight savings time is now longer than standard time we should change the names to "standard time" (for the summer rather than the winter) and "daylight wasting time.")


Many kids don't have school today and tomorrow.  We have school.

Did you change your clock?  Do you have to do this in your native country?

Colombia 20 years ago suffered the blackout.

El Fenomeno El Nino wiped reservoirs and obliged to ration electricity was then we had time change and daily power outages in the country.

This led us to work less at night, use less electricity, in order to obtain lower energy use and wear.

The country has made great strides since then (May de1992) today.
The truth is that the chances of a blackout today in Colombia are extremely low. "That we believe and hope Colombians.

Magarita.
